    Call for SustainRT New Voices in Sustainability Conference Stipend Nominations


    The SustainRT New Voices in Sustainability Conference Stipend recognizes the importance of social equity to SustainRT and ALA, and works to support new and diverse members to overcome barriers to participating in the professional development and networking opportunities presented by ALA conferences and events. SustainRT will provide up to $500 each year to help one candidate to attend the ALA Annual Conference through the stipend which can be used for fees associated with registration, housing, meals, travel, or any other costs incurred as a result of attending the in-person or virtual conference.


    The  Sustainability Round Table will offer a $500 conference stipend to a SustainRT member attending the 2023 ALA Annual Conference. Applicants should be new and diverse voices in library sustainability or first-time attendees.
